September 1, 2026 City Council Meeting

The City of North Bend City Council meeting was held September 1, 2026. The main procurement item was agenda item AB26-077, a proposed contract amendment with Peach Global Solutions for the Adventure Northbend economic-development website. Staff said the amendment would add pages on Cascade Gateway/Project 34 and available light-industrial property, establish website tracking metrics, and support a LinkedIn marketing campaign. Council discussed whether staff could maintain the site and whether the work could wait, but the transcript does not capture a vote or approval, and no contract amount was stated. The agenda was approved as amended after item 11 was deferred to the September 22 work study; a closed session was scheduled for collective bargaining and negotiations.

The meeting also included community comments and presentations on child and family services, suicide prevention, and food insecurity. Encompass representatives described funding pressures, including underfunded government service contracts and low Medicaid reimbursement, and asked for support and advocacy; no funding allocation was considered or approved. The council issued proclamations for Suicide Prevention Month and Hunger Action Month and discussed water conservation and community safety. A public commenter also advocated for more efficient unit-lot subdivision and lot-splitting procedures, describing the proposal as a process change rather than a density increase.
